global business law week 4 case problem and discussion Business Finance Assignment Help

((ATTENTION there are 2 files I don’t know how to send it ))

Homework #1 – Data Sourcing – The objective of this assignment is to expose you to some issues of acquiring data. First, we will examine some of the different formats that are used with data files. Oftentimes you can select the format that you will work with, but sometimes systems will force you to accept set data formats. Second, you will see firsthand how data are often provided in either an untidy format or just downright “dirty.” Working with data can be messy, it requires a careful, observant, and methodical approach.

This assignment has two parts: (1) Multiple Formats – why are there different formats? You will work with RDF, XML, JSON, and CSV formats. (2) Identifying Issues with a dataset and developing a strategy to manage/correct issues.

Here is a link to an online data wrangling tool: http://vis.stanford.edu/wrangler/. Feel free to explore it. You are NOT required to use it.

Part 1: Multiple Formats

Download the four zipcodeDemographics files. These files contain the same data but in different formats. Using a text editor examine the files and note differences in their structure. Perform some research to obtain brief definitions of each format, write your definitions stating your referenced source(s). Is any format easier to read compared to the others? If so, why?

Examine the file and characterize it (i.e., pick a format to analyze). Imagine that you must present your findings to an executive committee that wants to know what is important in the data. Prepare a single PowerPoint slide to succinctly characterize the data.

Part 2: Data Wrangling

Data wrangling is the process of manipulating data to change it into a format that can be used for analysis so that the data can be used in automated/computerized analysis tools. There are two major stages: data tidying and data cleaning. Data tidying is the process of transforming data so that it is in a format where it can be readily processed by automated tools. Data cleaning is the process of transforming the data to insure to the greatest extent possible that it accurately reflects the subject that it pertains to.

Download the University returns_for_figshare_FINAL.csv file. Using a tool such as Excel examine the file. Identify as many issues as you can with the dataset. For issues that you identify develop a strategy (or strategies) as to how they can be dealt with, report the issues and strategies.

Submit a MS Word document with your findings from parts 1 & 2.

Meta-synthesis Of Practitioner Journals To Analyze Type, Rate And Quality Of Published Articles To Assist Mathematics Teacher

NEED TO BE FIXED a research project. This includes a written report somewhere between a journal article and a full master’s thesis. The project is a journal analysis. The journals are The College Mathematics Journal(Publisher:Mathematical Association of America) and The Mathematics Teacher(Publisher:NCTM). Date range for the journals are 2012 – 2017.

Roughly speaking, the paper has 5 parts:

1. Introduction: this template is attached with writing guidelines
2. Literature Review: It will be a summary of prior journal analyses and metasynthesis research.
3. Methods: This is where you explain in what will feel like too much detail exactly what you did to find journals and analyze them. The idea of a methods section is that it should read like a sub plan for a sub you don’t trust. Someone should be able to take your methods and implement the analysis you did without any further information than what is written
4. Results: This is where you present the results of the analysis. Often in this kind of paper it is patterns. Maybe there are tons of algebra activities, but little geometry. Or a journal says they publish math ed but it turns out to not be super true. It’s hard to say before the analysis is done what goes here. There are typically a lot of figures and tables.
5. Discussion: This is the conclusion section. It summarizes what was found, and in a journal analysis typically makes recommendations for what things should be published in the future.
6. Other sections: References(in APA), Appendices and front matter (title page, table of contents, etc)

I submitted to my adviser and got this response:

“I have looked over your paper. It is formatted well and you have shown great initiative this semester, I’m afraid what you have is going to require significant rewriting. Parts of the methods section and the literature review are salvageable, but all of the rest will need to be redone. I am especially concerned about the sentences lifted from papers without attribution or with attribution to another paper. I had major surgery yesterday but will give direction as soon as I am able. I would like to move forward by sending some videos on how to do the analysis of the practitioner journal articles. Look for that by the end of this week. In the meantime, you can start by deleting all of the unattributed and misattributed quotes in the current draft.”

“I am now uploading a video to your dropbox providing more direction on literature review and journal analysis and their differences. I will try to make the code sheet mentioned in the video today so that you can get started on the analysis as soon as possible.” (SINCE THE VIDEO FORMAT IS TOO BIG, I ATTACHED IN THE POWERPOINT FORMAT. )

“I have placed a coding protocol in your dropbox. There is a protocol (read that first) and a blank coding sheet. You will want to use a new coding sheet for each issue. I have started the first coding sheet for the January 2012 issue of MAA to give you an example“

With all these requirements, attached research paper(“Meta Synthesis of Practitioner Journals”) needs to be fixed.

* All the articles will be provided.

1. Social movements tend to wax and wane over time. What do you think could explain this variation?
2. In what way is it plausible to think of social movements as being inimical to democracy, and in what way is
it plausible to think of them as being the embodiment of democracy itself?
3. What would you describe as the functions of social movement?

1. On MS-Word menu bar, click Home – Times New Roman – 12 font; Layout – Margins – Narrow and adjust Indent zero for all (Left, Right, Before, and After); and Paragraph – Alignment Left – Line Spacing zero.

2. Please edit your answering paper again if it’s longer than two pages. I wanted you answer to all three questions smartly within two pages.
